Pupstar Pants - Instruction Manual
We often get asked about sizing, how to measure your dog, and how to use the pants.
Sizing Chart
For best fit, we highly recommend you use weight as your primary measure; and then follow up with your dogs waist. Due to the large range of body shapes in our canine friends here are a few extra tips:
- If you're dog has a large booty (ie, a little on the stocky side) OR is near the top of a size range (weight or waist), it is best to go up a size as the elastic will accommodate it.
- If you have a larger dog with a very small waist (we often see this in Sight Hounds) then please send along both weight and waist measurements... sometimes these body shapes need a little finessing to get right.
How much stretch/tight should they be? Check out our guidance in the video below.

Measuring your Dog
Pupstar Pants have an elasticated waist band which means that they are quite forgiving with regards to size. However, for best fit it is best to measure your dogs waist... just around the tummy in front of the legs.
Also remember that if your dog is close to the upper range (weight or waist measurement) and has a big booty... then it is best to go up a size.
Putting them on your Dog
Putting Pupstar Pants on your dog is amazingly simple. Just wrap the waist band around the dogs belly, securing it on their back. This should be a snug fit. Then do up each of the rear flaps.
For those of you who are more visual, here is a short video demonstrating the technique... such that it is. :-)
